#iPhone Graphics Guidelines

Note to reader: If you have anything to add, please create a pull request!

All graphics should have their width and height rounded up or down - there shouldn’t be any graphics that have dimensions of 41x43 px for example, it should be 40x45px in this case, or 40x40/45x45 depending on the shape of the image.

Buttons must have a default state (how they will look normally), and a selected/highlighted state (how they will look when the user has tapped on it), as separate images.

All graphics must be provided in legacy and retina formats. Retina formatted graphics have “@2x” appended to their filename, and are twice the size (dimension) of the legacy images.

Application Icons need to be named and sized accordingly pursuant to the Apple Custom Icon and Image Creation Guidelines:

Filename Dimensions Description
Icon.png 57x57px The icon displayed on the homescreen on legacy devices.
Icon@2x.png 114x114px The icon displayed on the homescreen on retina devices.
Icon-Small.png 29x29px Settings Icon
Icon-Small@2x.png 58x58px Retina Settings Icon
Icon-Small-50.png 57x57px Spotlight search results icon

Launch screen graphics are displayed when the app is launched, and generally consist of the application’s logo and perhaps a few words about the app. It is sized accordingly, pursuant to the same guidelines:

Filename Dimensions
Default.png 320x480px
Default@2x.png 640x960px
Default-568h@2x.png 640x1136px
